The Famitsu magazine Just like presents this week to us the first images of Harvest Moon Heroes on Nintendo Wii. with its practice, this new episode of the series will propose to us to manage our exploitation by using the controller of Nintendo Wii to carry out the principal tasks.

To sprinkle our plants, it will be enough to incline the controller at the desired place once the watering-can in hand. Well of other tasks should be realizable thanks to the lever, in particular fishing and the assumption of responsibility of our animals.

The history of Harvest Moon Heroes Wii begins as for it on a small island which, following a great dryness, will see the death of its tree and the departure of its goddess. A small group of named creatures Koropokuru will then make its appearance by requiring a last favour of us, that to cultivate the ground in order to make revive the tree now drained.

I can say im excited about harvest moon agian. After HM:AWL and the playskool look of HM:MM and rehashed looking HMS I cant say I had hopes for this series anymore. But this game looks like it not only has a great graphical style back, but looks to have the great playing forumla (proper marriage, proper crops) back as well.

Now if I had to half-farm half-defend my crops from theiving banditos with a pick-axe.. then we'll talk.

Check out "Rune Factory: New Harvest Moon" for the DS. It's basically Harvest Moon with monsters. Considering how slow Natsume have been translating Harvest Moon DS though, it probably won't come out until late 2007 at the earliest .

On topic, there are some better scans of Harvest Moon Heroes here as well as some scans for a new DS Harvest Moon here.
